Keraben and NanoPhos Create the Next Generation of Self-cleaning and Antimicrobial Ceramic Tiles

ATHENS, Greece, April 7, 2011 - NanoPhos SA, a nanotechnology company, and the leading ceramic
tile manufacturer KERABEN co-developed LIFEKER(R), an innovative line of
self-cleaning and self-sterilizing ceramic tiles. These properties of
LIFEKER(R) tiles are provided by the use of the SurfaShield(R) coating
technology developed by NanoPhos, which is activated simply by the energy of
surrounding light (either sunlight or artificial lighting) without the use of
dangerous chemicals. The photocatalytic action of SurfaShield(R) continuously
decomposes organic stains and environmental pollutants without being
consumed. The use of this technology protects humans from infectious
microbes, eliminates fungus growth and minimizes the use of cleaning and
sterilizing products, while it has been estimated that 1000 square meters of
LIFEKER(R) tiles have equal ability to decompose pollutants with 60 trees!

It is interesting to mention that SurfaShield(R) technology,
received the prestigious GAIA award during the 2010 International Building
and Construction Show BIG5 in Dubai for its environmentally friendly and
innovative profile.
